All Commanders report to Briefing Room Besh image - Star Wars: Interregnum mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion
Star Wars: Interregnum is an upcoming mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion that builds off of the highly successful Enhanced 4X Mod. Fleeing the unknown terror that is chasing the Vasari, the factions of Sins of a Solar Empire stumble on a temporary wormhole that takes them to a galaxy far, far away. The sudden arrival of armadas with trillions of refugees and thousands of warships between the events of Episodes 5 & 6 forever alters the Star Wars universe and plunges the galaxy into an unprecedented period of chaos and violence. Begun, a new conflict has.
One of the tricky things about making the upcoming campaign missions in Interregnum Beta 2 has been trying to figure out how to best provide the player with the information needed to complete each scenario. Sadly Sins of a Solar Empire does not provide us with a way to play a video or even display text at the start of a mission.
Fortunately, after lots of experimentation, I think we have found a solution we are happy with. Each campaign mission will have a special invulnerable structure on your homeworld, called a Mission Briefing. In addition to simply displaying text about the mission, win and defeat conditions, a special audio briefing will set the stage of the for the player and better explain the objectives and story. Be sure to seek out these objective markers and receive your briefing when playing a campaign mission for the firs time!
You'll be able to try out the campaigns and other features of Beta II soon!
Nice~
But I have a question:
Is it possible to make the description point based instead of paragraph based (like the picture show)
Point based:
- Win Condition
- Lose Condition
- Background
Unfortunately info cards don't let us have white space in the descriptions. It would end up like this.
*Win... *Lose... *Background...
I am sure as long as it is kept short and to the point it will work well for the majority of players. Looking forward to the next version :)
Just want you guys to know you rock and I appreciate the **** you do.
Can't wait for Beta II!
Have you guys considered making some *mission Briefing* intro videos that you guys could release on a youtube channel? Maybe as a "This is what we wanted to do" kinda thing?
Um... minor detail, but you misspelled "traitorous"...
Thanks! We haven't put the new text for Beta 2 through the spell check machine yet. xD
There was another spelling error I spotted in Interregnum, but I can't remember exactly where. All I can remember is it was in relation to one of the artifacts. The Holocron of something, but I think the word "peace" had been misspelled, too. Again, my memory isn't clear on that point, but you might start looking there. I know when I started working on my derivative mod, I had to correct something like that.
Awesome. Have been waiting until Beta 2 is released to play Sins again. You guys have done an amazing job, especially considering all you want to do, and what you have to work with in order to accomplish those goals.
I know this is probably waaaaaaaay down on the list, but will there be a lore post after Beta II is released? Honestly the lore articles are some of my favorite parts of this whole mod.
Probably at some point.
